Using Alphabet code for menu construction
Abstract
In this article, we consider main approaches to interface optimization and existing algorithms for constructing application hierarchical menu. A method for constructing a menu with floating width of hierarchy levels, based on the alphabetical Gilbert-Moore code is suggested by the author. The proposed algorithm has low labor- intensiveness and allows us to take into account physiological characteristics of human - computer interaction.
